I would as well.

Okay then, I am working on the interior layout (one nice thing is that I have complete control, like a book layout, and not subject to whatever the ebook formats do). If anyone noticed any lingering typos on their ebook version (I heard there were a few), let me know and get a credit!

Recent reviews of Loremaster Legacy:

"…The style is smooth, the intrigue complex and you come to care for the characters as the story unfolds. And above all, the world the action takes place in reveals itself to be a beautiful, gritty and dangerous place. Kulthea is the main character of the novel. This could deter you if you have no previous knowledge of this setting, but it shouldn't because the author has seamlessly entwined enough information for the newly arrived to get their bearings…" (Amazon)

"… a thrilling tale of Loremasters, Dragonlords, the Priests Arnak, and the sucession war in Rhakhaan. Against this large tapestry, with the looming figures of the Lords of Essaence, the young Kalen Avanir, Marquess of Endar, and his cousin Jad find themselves involved as small pieces of a large game which can alter the future not only of the Shadow World but even of the Galaxy. Adventure, mysteries and a great tale that gives some glimpses of the vast Shadow World, the unknown East, and the Galactic Empire, as the story evolves…"  (Goodreads)

Has anyone had trouble with the .mobi (kindle) version of the book? I am seeing returns on Amazon, and of course they don't tell me why. If it is a formatting issue, I can fix it and you can get a free update. If you prefer, you can send me a personal message. Thanks!

I'm working on the Loremaster sequel (in between adventures for Emer III and the new editions of Eidolon and Emers; Jaiman will come later), and I would appreciate some frank (constructive) feedback. Anything is fine, from the content, characters, style, where it should go. Granted, this book came directly from the serialized online 'Journals' and the next book will be more new material, I would appreciate knowing what you liked and did not like about the first one. (e.g., Kalen too wimpy, story jumping around too much, too many characters, too complicated... you get the idea. Feel free to send your comments by PM if you prefer, or my email is in my profile. And if you encountered any issues with any online formats.

I don't know whether it was because of the reader I was using, but it wasn't always obvious that the story had switched to another viewpoint. Larger breaks, or something else, between different character sections would be helpful.

Thanks, which version were you reading, the Kindle or the epub (ipad)?  Thanks

It was an epub on the BlackBerry PlayBook, using the Untangled Development Book Reader app.

Hi Terry, I don't know if this post belongs to this thread (in this case please move it) but I'd like to know the RM2 stats for Kyan Kim (or at least the level). I want to add him to my campaign. I didn't find stats neither in Emer I nor in Emer II (except for character description, actually). Thanks!!  :D

Perhaps an entire Shadowstone supplement wouldn't go amiss, detailing characters, items and places that aren't covered anywhere else.

You make an excellent point; Emer II is sadly lacking in organized stats, which I hope to correct. On a related note, there has been talk of doing a PDF of stats of all the major characters in Loremaster Legacy for a small price. Anyone interested?

To answer your question briefly for now (I promise full stats in Emer II), He's a Monk, between 8 and 10th level, with Changramai training of course, with both striking and sweeps/throws skill. More will have to wait.

You beat me to it! And adding items (not sure how practical 'places' would be, but open to suggestions) is a great idea.

You could have details of the Loremasters' places visited, for example, such as their main base. Although that probably isn't the best example, as that would probably justify an entire "city" book supplement. Things like their houses maybe.

I'm working on a print version with a new cover and edits (any readers who found typos, please feel free to contact me) And I will issue new ebook versions in all formats, so buyers on Drive-thrufiction and Amazon should be able to get the new version free. Here's a cover I am working on, comments welcome.
